Pre-Order Price Guarantee

Amazon.com's price for not-yet-released items sometimes changes between the time the item is listed for sale and the time it is released and shipped. Whenever you pre-order a book, CD, video, DVD, video game, or software item, the price we charge when we ship it to you will be the lowest price offered by Amazon.com between the time you place your order and the release date.

Applies to amazon.co.uk too - except that these aren't on pre-order.

I've managed to find an Argos store close to me that doesn't have it in stock but will order it in for next weekend. Is it worth a punt reserving it to see if the price will come down or should I just keep an eye on Amazon? Argos are charging £429 which is a lot more than other retailers.

I've also reserved one of each at Argos, which they say they will order in for me (between Thurs and Sat) ... just hope that the price drops before then as it's my eldest birthday in October and would make a fab gift Fingers crossed!

I reserved the 32GB one and was putting in a 2nd reservation for the 16GB one (just in case) but between checking stock and clicking the reserve button, someone else must have nipped in as my email says it's out of stock now.

Fingers crossed for the big one then!

I've sent e-mails out to most of the UK retailers that stock the Touchpad....
So far i've had a few vague replies
Currys said keep checking for a price change
Amazon is supposed to be getting back to me on details of the price change
Play said they would not change the price as they are controlled by their suppliers.
Ive reserved some though just in case!

Thanks for the update Robbo.

I've been monitoring Twitter for any developments.

As soon as I hear anything, I'll post it here.

Someone supposedly official at HP posted this re pricing outside US:

It isn't very promising, but maybe they're just keeping their cards close to their chest.

Keeping one hostage with Argos reserve and collect 22 miles away, will re-reserve when nesscessary, tried to order one into my local store but the reserve looks like it is going though but then says out of stock right at the end.
